A very stupid question but want to see if i have an answer.
Is it possible to run SQL Server Service and SQL Server Agent Service under local system(not Domain account) without granting SA Permissions on the server. is it ever possible to run by just granting some registry permissions and not making BUILTINAdministrators a SA on the server.
It is simple question, just slipped out of my mind at this time...... how do we change Security Context for 2005 version from network to local system. thanks,
I am doing an unattended upgrade of Sql Express with Advanced Services SP1. Before the upgrade the services run under domain accounts. I use the following command :
However after the ugrade the service accounts are running under local system.
Documentation is unclear, i find the following:
; The services for SQL Server and Analysis Server are set auto start. To use the *ACCOUNT settings ; make sure to specify the DOMAIN, e.g. SQLACCOUNT=DOMAINNAMEACCOUNT ; NOTE: When installing SQL_Engine 3 accounts are REQUIRED: SQLACCOUNT, AGTACCOUNT and SQLBROWSERACCOUNT. ; SQLACCOUNT Examples: ; SQLACCOUNT=<domainuser> ; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM" ; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE" ; SQLACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITYLOCAL SERVICE"
To my knowledge the <> is not required. Can someone please help as i cannot get the services accounts to run under a domain user after upgrade.
During install of SQL Server 2005, we can of course use a domain account or the built-in system account for running the services. I lean toward domain for obvious reaons but would like to know a +/- to each option and why I'd choose one over the other and what consequences or limitations one may encounter if I choose one over the other.
I have an application I developled for a shopping cart function using Wrox ASP.NET book as a guide. I have everything working great on my local system using SQL 2005 Express. When I move the app to an IIS 6.0 Web Server with SQL 2005 Express installed I get the following error. Line 103: Public Overridable Property Cart() As Wrox.Commerce.ShoppingCartLine 104: GetLine 105: Return CType(Me.GetPropertyValue("Cart"),Wrox.Commerce.ShoppingCart)Line 106: End GetLine 107: Set It has some comments up top about not being able to establish a connection to the SQL Express Database. I have made the changes to allow TCP/IP and Named-Pipes The App has to be connecting to the database because it displays grid views during the order process. The Database is located in the App Data folder IIS is set to Integrated Authentication and configured as a Web Application. Can someone please tell me what is wrong. thanks.....
I am new to installation of SQL Server 2005..I wanted to know while selecting Service Account Screen why Avoid running SQL Server Agent as the Local System account.????
I am wondering if we could back up the databases to any place outside of the local server system? As I found, we can only back up the database to the local server system, so we have needs to share databases on network places. Is there any method to back up the database on network place rather than first of all I have to back up the database on a local server system, then copy it to the network place, that just sounds really inconvenient.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
Hello there,This is a bit of strange one.My local version of SQL Server fails to start when I boot yet if Istart Enterprise Manager its started and working fine.

Hi, I'm developing a website using VWD 2005 Express, which needs a Membership system and a products database. Using the VWD inherent Web Site Administration tool makes the membership set up easy but by default it creates a 'Local' SQL database in a folder named 'Apps_Data' in the VWD project. My question is: considering I will need to upload my web site to a Hosting Service, would it be better to change the default so that the membership systems, and the product database I need, are created in an SQL 'Server' database instead of a 'Local' database? The hosting service I am considering using is having a bit of a problem understanding this question, I hope it makes sense to someone or am I asking a stupid question? Regards Sean.
I have scripts to refresh database as SQL daily jobs. (O.S is Win2K3 and SQL server 2000 and SP4) It was worked and I got the following message this morning from SQL error log.
BackupMedium::ReportIoError: read failure on backup device '\XAPROD12MASTERXAPRODXAPROD_db_200701290000.BAK'. Operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.).
I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!

Just spotted that some cowboys install a Live DB Server using Local System Account for the SQL Server Service. Gonna change it to a Domain Admin Account tonight. Anyone got any advice or warnings about any "gotchas" I might run in to during a job like this?
Is it possible to set up database mirroring between two servers that have SQL Service running under Local system? I tried to setup mirroring between two servers running under Local system but was running into the following error:
Server or Network address cannot be reached or does not exist.
What are the pre-requisites for setting up database mirroring if the service runs under Local system? Do I have to configure certificates? Is that mandatory? Can anyone please let me know. Any other gotchas?
I can schedule my task in DTS provided my sql server agent runs in the same windows authentication as of the windows login(specified the user name and pass word in the logon properties of sql server agent) and DTS package owner.
it is failing when i run with local system account. why is that so.
I noticed that when installing on a Windows XP machine, the installation results in a SQLServer instance which is configured with Built-in account = Network Service. However, with the same command line used on Windows 2000 machines, the configuration winds up being Built-in account = Local System. My understanding is that the default configuration is supposed to be Local System.
What can I do to ensure that the instance configuration is always Local System during the silent installation? This is required otherwise, under the Network Service configuration, it creates a messy situation to attach DBs.
Hello,My server is part of a W2K domain. What do you advice me as account torun my SQL*Server, service started with a domain user account or aslocal system ?I need advices from a security point of view.Thank's in advance
Hi. can anybody suggest command line option to install sql express 2005 under local system account? currently it defaults to 'Network service'. Thanks in advance.
here is the situation. I have a DB on one system. I back it up and then restore it to a second system. This second system I run reports off of and I want to create custom views that do not exist on the original system. Can I restore the backup DB from the remote system without wiping out the custom views on the local system?
I have to do this this way as they won't let us create the views we want on the remote system so the only way we have access to run the reports is by restoring the backup locally.
Dear all I have developed some packages (around 40) on my local system. now i m trying to move the integration services project on the production server. when i double click on the intergration services from the local drive of the server all the packages are up(works fine till here) now i open any of the package-->this is what happens Prompt1)-->TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ There were errors while the package was being loaded. The package might be corrupted. See the Error List for details. ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
i press ok and then the prompt comes Prompt2-->There were build errors.Do you want to continue with the last build and continue..yes..no.. i click yes ..and then error comes
prompt3--> Error loading RTS-IMRB-DISTRIBUTION.dtsx: The connection "Excel Connection Manager" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
and finally the prompt for the OLE DB error prompt 4-->[OLE DB Destination [14]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "NDELNTX46.IMRB RTS.siddharth" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Possible work around suggested to me was that in the base system(read local) before exporting go to package properties and the security and set the security as "Encrypt all with password" and also put some Password which i did and it worked for one. other thing i thought off was creating the configuration file but first i thought of fully running one complete package on the production and then think of the configuration file. so i went inside the invidual excel connection and pointed it to the correct new file location and also edited the OLE DB database connection and put my user name and password and checked save password and trying to run the entire thing. but still the same problem.. one more thing i observed was that my OLE DB was going off everytime i am running the package.and i have to enter my password again...so othe save password i guess is not working
I know its a little long post..but i wanted to explain the entire process and problem to all with description. all suggestions are welcome
I am on an XP Pro 32-bit laptop, running SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. I want to import an Excel spreadsheet into one of my databases using (formerly known as) DTS. The Excel spreadsheet was created in 2003 (I have Office 2007 installed on this laptop). Whenever I try and do any OleDb import, I get the error:
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard ------------------------------ The operation could not be completed. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. (System.Data) ------------------------------ BUTTONS: OK ------------------------------
I cannot install/reinstall MDAC because I have the latest version. What else can I try?
As additional information, I also get the error when trying to import anything into or export anything out of Access 2007. I'm pretty sure MDAC is awful, but I still need OleDb providers for much of the work I am doing.
Numerous articles (e.g., http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinfo/administration/2000/security/securingsqlserver.asp, even one that I wrote, http://www.dbazine.com/sql/sql-articles/cook12) state that to secure SQL Server, the SQL Server services should not run as Local System. That advice is useful only if making the change is not overly disruptive or is even allowable. My two most recent clients have absolutely rigid password expiration policies that require all account passwords to be changed at regular intervals. Realistically, that makes a compelling case for running as Local System.
I am run the ETL package through the SQL Server Agent, the job fails with the error message
"System.InvalidOperationException: The 'IBMDA400.DataSource.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.".
But when i run trough the UI is runs fine.
I am uisng OLE DB driver to the connect to AS400.
can you please tekk ne where a im going wrong.

I'm trying to do an unattended install of SQL Express 2005 SP2, and specify that the service runs under the Local Service account. Prior versions of SQL Express worked fine.
With SQL Express 2005 SP2, however, the install fails on XP Pro SP2. It *does* work on Winows 2003 Server.
It fails at the end of the install, saying it can't start the service. If I use "NETWORK SERVICE", it works fine, but that's more privileges than I want the service to have. Is there something else on the command line that I can try to get it to work?
We have defined a local administrator to be the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services user, and is also the job step owner for some SSIS packages I am running.
My question is, isn't by default a local administrator ALSO granted sysadmin in SQL Server? According to this link, it seems to imply this:
However, I am having some permissions problems with the local adminstrator account (i.e. SQL Server agent account) when it runs the job. The error is that it doesn't have execute permissions on sp_dts_addlogentry.
